Chapter 3 Shall Never Love You Like I Used To

• I Shall Never Love You Like I Used To.
• Mu Shiyu woke up the next day, albeit with difficulty. She sat on her bed for a while before tidying herself up and going to school to drop out as planned. When she was washing herself up, someone slammed the door a couple of times, then it was kicked open.
• The one who came in was an angry Mu Shanshan, her face contorted. “Who did you hook up with last night, Mu Shiyu?! Deputy Director Shen called me and said he waited at Siegfried Hotel for the whole afternoon!” When Deputy Director Shen rebuked her on the phone, Mu Shanshan felt like crying.
• Deputy director Shen was a reknowned pervert in the film industry, so Mu Shanshan hatched a plan of sending Mu Shiyu to his bed, destroying her sister's relationship with Chi An, as well as helping herself to get a role as her first step into the entertainment industry. When Mu Shiyu came back looking dejected and in a mess, Mu Shanshan thought the woman must have done the deed. Mu Shanshan thought her plan was perfect, but...
• She glared at Mu Shiyu, but there was doubt in Mu Shanshan's eyes. On the other hand, Mu Shiyu trembled in anger when she heard that. The woman took a deep breath. “So it's really you. Why did you do this to me?”
• Mu Shanshan snorted. “You're just a b*stard, so you don't have the right to date someone as great as Chi An. Besides, our family has raised you for so long, so of course you have to repay your debt.”
• The moment she said that, Mu Shiyu gave her a slap without even hesitating.
• Slap!
• It landed squarely on Mu Shanshan's face, creating a crisp, lovely sound. Mu Shanshan's head was forced to turn to the side from the impact, and then she widened her eyes in disbelief. A moment later, she covered her cheek that was throbbing in pain.
• “How dare you slap me, Mu Shiyu?!” Mu Shanshan's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and she wanted to retaliate, but Mu Shiyu gripped her hand and shoved her to the ground, looking at her icily.
• For some reason, Mu Shanshan was terrified of how cold Mu Shiyu was looking at her, but still the woman glared at the one who slapped her. “Just you wait! I'll make you beg for my mercy someday, and then I'll have my revenge!” She then struggled to stand up and dashed downstairs.
• Mu Shiyu's hand was numb from the recoil. The truth Mu Shanshan told her chilled her to the bone, but it also made her realize something. Tolerating all the abuse for over a decade not only didn't win the acceptance from this family, it exacerbated the abuse from her foster Mom and sister. Even worse, they used her as a bargaining chip for their own profit.
• The woman took a deep breath and held her tears back, then she walked out with her handbag in hand. If she waited for Mu Shanshan to bring her Mom here, what awaited her would be none other than another abuse session. Mu Shiyu was planning to stay over at her friend's house for a few days as she waited for Mr. Mu to come back. When he did, she would tell her what truly happened and demand justice.
• The moment she got to the doorstep, Mu Shiyu suddenly stopped and looked ahead in disbelief. She noticed a white Chevrolet waiting for god knew how long at the corner outside of her home's gate.
• That's Chi An's car. She backed off reflexively, but since the driver had seen her, he honked for a couple of times before slowly coming toward her. The car window was then rolled down, revealing a lethargic Chi An before her.
• His eyes were bloodshot, and his chin was filled with stubbles. Coldly, he stared at her. “Get in,” he said icily.
• Mu Shiyu tried not to cry as she shook her head. “Sorry, Chi An, but I think it's best that we break up. I've been—”
• “Shut up!” Chi An's temper flared, and his expression was dark. He pushed down on his bulging vein, then the man smiled mockingly. “What? You are complaining about my car now after you've slept with a famous director?”
• She didn't expect the gentle man whom she had loved for three years to say something so cruel to her, so Mu Shiyu paled. The woman went into his car quietly, but when she had made up her mind to say something, he interrupted her.
• Chi An's expression was grim as he looked ahead unblinkingly. “I won't break up with you.” He said coldly.
• Mu Shiyu's eyes widened, and she finally cried. “Chi An...”
• “Don't take this the wrong way.” Chi An sneered before adding cruelly, “I won't break up with you because I won't want everyone else to find out that my girlfriend sleeps around so easily. I won't love you as much as I used to from now on.”
• His girlfriend used to be someone innocent and needed his protection, but the current Mu Shiyu was unworthy of him. Even though he knew she couldn't have thrown herself to another person if he just thought about it, the jealousy that burned in him right now stopped him from thinking about the possibility that there might be something more in this.
• All he knew now what that she was a filthy slut, but humiliatingly, he couldn't let her go.
• Mu Shiyu looked up at in in a trance, looking at the man, as if he was a stranger.
